Thom and James have spent over a decade building connections with the city’s pizzaioli, suppliers and food pioneers, drawing inspiration from the traditions that define authentic Neapolitan pizza. Dave’s photography and design expertise bring their adventures to life, capturing the colour, warmth and character of the city and the people who shape it.

What’s it about? Pizza Napoli invites readers on a lively tour of Naples, guided by the restaurateurs who have made the city their second home.
